Congrats to Martina. Goran's playing right now... I'll never forget when he won Wimbledon in 2001 I think it was.

Feddero is amazing to watch, his shots are like poetry in motion.

He also won aswell, 3 straight sets.

Federer is good too!

Shame that this will be Goran's last outing....

Actually it's Federer. At first I thought he was talking about Ferrero, but I think he pulled out of the tournament, so I'm assuming he's talking about the # 1 player in the world.

[gunnar hendershow]

I agree that Federer is amazing. It's a shame most people don't watch men's tennis... I agree most of the players aren't interesting on a McEnroe, Borg, Connors level. That doesn't mean they aren't fun to watch though.

I only usually watch Wimbledon

How come Hewitt isn't seeded higher? Has he had a bad season or something?

[IAceI]

I HATE YOU GORAN. Plus my seats sucked, i was behind a pillar and then was at the back row, that sucked, i only saw from 2-2 to 6-6 then we had to left, the rain was annoying to say the least.

I spent a while watching Michel Youzhny, i've always liked him and I was screaming his name every switch, since there was only like 4 people who actually wanted him to win.

I got seventeen autographs, i didn't know them all but i got Katie O'Brien's and Andrew Banks', so that was good. I got Ai Sugiyama's autograph and had my photo taken with her, and also got Sjeng Schalken's and Todd Woodbridges, among others such as Rik Von Roest.

I spent some time watching Robby Ginerpri, and it's amazing how close you get to them, and as i was in the Youzhny match, I was shouting for him to win.

Two things spoilt my day, the rain and two of the people we were with who were practically ass raping everyone who came by for an autograph. But i was great to be there and I love the first day because there is so much to see.

Comiserations to Bogdanavic, he's got time on his side. Oh, and I need to say this. COME ON CORIA! Who'll win this and then go out next round, but if he wins that's his best ever Wimbledon season, 3rd seed is ridiculously stupid for him. He can't play grass, period. COME ON CORIA!

WE LOVE YOU HENMAN!!!

Tim got through, but as usual he does it the hard way!

GO TIM!!!

I would LOVE to see a Rusedski/Henman final of Wimbledon one day.

We'll be lucky enough if Tim gets there...but Rusedski never will. The only thing he has going for him is his serve.

Once again, the summer is here, absolutley NO rain. Then along comes Wimbledon and it starts raining

It happens every year, it is a curse I tell you!

They better it gets annoying to see it always get rained out and me miss the matches I want to see.

[FLiam]

They are putitng a roof over the centre court in 2006. Shame they haven't got one now

[gunnar hendershow]

Damn. Goran won again.

He's got Hewitt in the 3rd Round. Can we have a repeat of 2001? I doubt it, but just seeing one of my favorite tennis players ever do well long past his time is good enough for me.

[TheArsenal]

Rusedski also through today, but he didn't do it the easy way.

[TheArsenal]

I've just watched Venus Williams vs Sprem with the number three seed crashing out 7-6 7-6.

Unbelieveable controversy in the second set tiebreaker, as an "out" call went unheard by the umpire who went on to award a point to Sprem who them came back from 4-2 (should have been 4-1) down in the tie-break to win 8-6.

I can't wait to see if anything happens after this huge mistake.

Venus Williams just took part in the London screwjob. Count the damned point!

Venus loses AND she gets screwed by the chair ump. That's 2 for the price of one. Great match overall though. Venus had set points in both sets but still loses.

[gunnar hendershow]

The fault is with Venus for not questioning the call when it happened.
